Changing ${PATH_SEPARATOR} -> $${PATH_SEPARATOR} breaks regular Unix and does not make much sense, because PATH_SEPARATOR is a make variable, not a shell variable... |

Thanks for the explanation, I'm not very familiar with Makefiles. It only worked in my case because I happened to hava a shell variable called PATH_SEPARATOR. After some more experimenting, I suspect that when the path separator is ';', sh interprets it as the end of the statement. Maybe it needs to be quoted, something like m="$$m${PATH_SEPARATOR}$$j"; \ |
